Natural History of Mezcal and Agave Spirits

At The Museum | Fleischmann Auditorium

Explore the natural history of mezcal with agave specialist Jorge Báez of Licores Perros. You’ll leave with a greater appreciation for the ecosystems that make mezcal and agave spirits possible, a more thoughtful approach to tasting it, and a clearer understanding of how to support its sustainable future.

Jorge Báez brings a multidisciplinary lens—as a chef, cultural steward, and advocate for Indigenous traditions—offering more than a standard tasting. Each pour becomes a window into the landscapes, communities, and time-honored techniques behind the spirit. Licores Perros is an import and distribution company offering exceptional agave distilled spirits and beverage products to the Central Coast. The company strategically partners with families and producers in Mexico to uphold a commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing.

This event includes tastings of mezcal and agave spirits and is exclusively for adults age 21+ with valid identification.
Tickets will go on sale later in the summer. RSVP here for first access to tickets when they go on sale. Doors open at 5:30 PM.
